Peak came at Roland Garros in 1979

His best Grand Slam result was the R16 at the 1979 French Open, achieved at age 21. That stands out as his only result beyond the R32 level across 17 tournaments.

1979 was his strongest season by far

In 1979 he reached the R16 at the French Open and the R32 at Wimbledon, while also appearing at the US Open. That is his only year with two results better than R64.

He was most competitive on clay and grass in the early 1980s

From 1980 through 1982, his best French Open result was twice R64 and once R128, while Wimbledon ranged from R128 to R64. The pattern shows no return to his 1979 peak.

His Grand Slam record was narrowly below .500

Across 30 matches he compiled a 13-17 record, which the table lists as 43% won. That means he won 13 of his 30 Grand Slam matches.

His career was concentrated in a short seven-year span

All listed Grand Slam results fall between 1977 and 1983, with 17 tournaments played in total. He was 18 in his first recorded Slam and 25 in his last, showing a compact Grand Slam career arc.
